Chapter 1371: Chapter 1987: No Significant Status in Her Heart

"If I had known she would be such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, you should have just thrown her into an orphanage back then. Who cares if she lives or dies?"

Benjamin Lawrence paused for a few seconds before frowning and saying, "Are you saying Annie’s hospitalization is because of Joanna?"

"Who else could it be!" Rose Liall was gnashing her teeth in anger. "Your beloved daughter is now trying to ride roughshod over us."

"Impossible," Benjamin denied immediately, "Must be some misunderstanding. How could Joanna possibly cause Annie to be hospitalized? Did you say Joanna found her biological parents? Was that true?"

"What’s there to lie about? She has even acknowledged them, and you still don’t know? It seems like you, her adoptive father, doesn’t hold any importance in her heart. She didn’t even tell you about such an important matter. Well, now she’s the well-bred lady of the White family. How could she look up to us?"

"The White family?" Benjamin’s face was filled with disbelief. "Joanna’s real parents are from the White family?"

"Back then, wasn’t it someone from the White family who sent Joanna to you? How could you not know who her biological parents are?"

"At that time, her parents’ last name was not White." Benjamin hesitated for a while before coming to his senses, "My boss’s last name used to be Cheng, could it be... he changed his last name?"

"Last name Cheng?" Rose Liall’s face changed slightly. "Could it be that Joanna is not the daughter of the White family? But that doesn’t add up. Annie said that the paternity test she conducted was done with Joanna’s blood. The paternity test results showed that Madam White and Joanna were mother and daughter."

"What did you say? Annie did a paternity test?"

Rose Liall met Benjamin’s suspicious gaze and realized she had let something slip.

She quickly tried to cover it up, "Oh, it’s nothing. Anyway, your precious daughter is now the daughter of the White family and has acknowledged her biological parents without telling you. She didn’t inform you, probably fearing that you would stop her and not let her return."

"Now that she has the White family as her support, she’s been bullying Annie terribly."

"Old Laurence, are you just going to stand by and watch her bully Annie?"

"Annie is your own daughter. Are you just going to let Joanna keep bullying her?"

Benjamin’s face looked a bit sullen, and after a long pause, he said, "Why would she bully Annie?"

"Of course, it’s because she thinks Annie stole David away from her, so she wants to take revenge on Annie. Initially, she was the one who hooked up with a richer guy and had to break up with David. Does that mean that just because she and David dated, Annie can’t be with David anymore?"

"She hired someone to block Annie, and even had someone create rumors and smear Annie on the Internet. Annie couldn’t take all the scolding and fainted."

Benjamin tightened his lips, looking at Annie, who was still unconscious in bed, his face gradually darkening.

Joanna had just removed her makeup and changed her clothes. After walking out of the dressing room of the film crew, she received a call from Benjamin.

She looked at the caller ID, hesitated for a few seconds, then answered the call.

"Dad."

The entire call lasted less than a minute.

Then, Benjamin hung up on the other side.

Joanna stared blankly at the phone screen for a while, then tightened her lips, stood for a while, and finally turned to walk towards the parking lot.

"Ms. Joanna."

The driver saw her and respectfully greeted her.
